I hope you are all well. I am trying to do some calculations involving the LET (Linear Energy Transfer) and I would like to do how FLUKA calculates it at its fundamental level. I tried to search for some documentation on the GETLET function but it does not seem to be anywhere. I tried looking for it in FLUKA’s source code but I am afraid I do not have the credentials to download it. Would it be possible for the definition of the GETLET function to be posted here for future reference or at least an outline of how it calculates the LET and under which definition?
Thank you very much for your time in advance. Any help would be extremely appreciated!
In FLUKA, when one requests to score LET one obtains the unrestricted stopping power with the usual contributions: standard Bethe-Bloch term, Barkas corrections, Bloch corrections, density-effect corrections, Mott corrections for heavy ions, etc.
